Funka focuses on accessibility

We analyse, develop and educate in accessibility. We provide support, recommendations and user testing. We contribute to standards and guidelines at national and international level. We are market leaders in accessibility. We like to say that we can make anything accessible ...

The International Association of Accessibility Professionals, IAAP, will hold its inaugural educational conference on October 21-23 in Las Vegas, USA. It will be an excellent opportunity to meet fellow accessibility professionals from around the world.

To work with development within the European PROEIPAHA project, we have strengthened our development team with Göran Nilsson, who has long experience in Drupal and open source. The main focus at the moment is a new database for dissemination of knowledge on active and healthy ageing.

Funka’s popular tool for self-inventory in the built environment is being developed into a web app. The project has come a long way, and this summer we carry out user testing before the final prototype is presented.

This summer, HSO Skåne, the southern region of the umbrella organisation for the disability federations in Sweden, will launch their new website developed by Funka. The project also includes developing a web tool to assess how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is observed in reality.

Funka will perform an inventory of all apartment buildings in the Swedish municipality of Mariestad, a total of 235 properties. With support from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning the inventory can be carried out without the property owners having to pay.

After many discussions and workshops with young people, we have developed a design that has generated great interest from Swedish housing corporations. The goal is to provide accessible, attractive and economical communal accommodation for young people.
